MX Telecom Virtual Mobile Service
Overview
The MX Telecom Virtual Mobile Service can be used as part of a Two Way SMS service, by receiving SMS's via the MX Telecom Virtual Mobile Service and sending them out using the Bulk SMS Service.
Upon receipt of an SMS to a Virtual Mobile number, the SMS Gateway will make a HTTP request to your servers, or to your accounts on one of our hosted applications. For more information, please see How to Connect.
The MX Telecom SMS Virtual Mobile service is best suited for two uses:
- Receiving SMS sent from multiple countries.
- Receiving SMS on a dedicated number, without paying the increased monthly access fees associated with dedicated short codes
The MX Telecom SMS Virtual Mobile Number Serive offers transmission rates of approximately 30 SMSs/second. Incoming SMSs are handled via our direct connection into mobile operators' SMSC. You can receive SMSs from users on virtually any mobile network around the world using a standard 11 digit mobile number.
MX Telecom has two service levels of the MX Telecom Virtual Mobile Service - Full Hosting and Shared Keyword Hosting:
Full Hosting Service
MX Telecom will provide a MX Telecom Virtual Mobile Number (MSISDN number - 11 Digit Mobile Number), which will be the "SMS Send-In" number, as part of a Two-Way messaging service. This allows your company to outsource all SMS receipt requirements to MX Telecom's Full Hosting Service.
Upon receipt of an SMS on to your MX Telecom Virtual Mobile number, MX Telecom SMS servers will automatically send a standard web HTTP request to your own servers, with all the message details. (Other interfaces are available).
Shared Keyword Service
The Keyword service involves using an existing MX Telecom General Access Number. Customers can specify certain Keywords (such as "PREDICTION", "WEATHER" or "[your company name/brand]"). If the keyword is received by the MX Telecom SMS Gateway General Access Number, it will automatically pass the message to your servers.
